Re: What is the age limit to appear for NET exam?

Dear There,

NET stands for National Eligibility Test. The University Grants Commission conducts NET examination twice every year for filling up the posts of :

a) Lecturers

b) Junior Research Fellowship.

Now , as per your question I would like to say that UGC has not set any age limit for Lecturer posts but for JRF posts the age limit for each category candidates is as follows:

a) General candidates – 21 - 28 years

b) OBC and SC/ST candidates have been granted 3 years relaxation and 5 years relaxation in upper age respectively.That means OBC candidates can apply upto the age of 31 years where SC/ST can apply upto 35 years of age.

The other eligibility candidates must fulfill for the exam are as follows:

• Candidates with Post Graduation in any stream from a recognized college / university.

• A minimum 55% mark is required in Post Graduation in order to apply for the examination.

• Candidates in the final year of Post Graduation are also eligible to apply.

• Citizenship – Indian

This is the all information I have for you.

Thanks.

Re: What is the age limit to appear for NET exam?

National Eligibility Test is conducted for two reasons. First is Junior Research Fellowship and second is college lectureship.

So the age limit depends on whether you are applying for JRF or lectureship because it is different for the two.

National Eligibility Test is bi-yearly entrance exam. It is conducted in June and December. The aim is to ensure good quality lecturers in government colleges to maintain high quality education.

Just as NET is conducted for college lectureship you have TET which is conducted for school teachers. Both were started by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development to improve quality of education in government institutes.

Like I earlier said that NET is conducted for two reasons. If you are applying for JRF then better do it before turning 28 years. While for lectureship there is no upper age limit. You are free to apply whenever you want. Please see the details below for complete information.


NET Eligibility

1. Nationality: Indian citizens are allowed.

2. Qualification: Minimum of post graduation.

3. Marks: At least 55 percent in post graduation course.

4. Relaxation: There isn't any for OBC.

5. Relaxation: 5 percent for SC and ST.

6. Final year students can also apply for this exam.

7. But they should submit degree/mark sheet in 2 years.

8. Subject: It will depend on your post graduation degree.

9. Age Limit: 28 is the upper age limit for JRF.

10. Relaxation: 3 years for OBC.

11. Relaxation: 5 years for SC and ST.

12. Age Limit (lecturer) - Lower age limit is 19 years while no upper age limit.
